*[[Alb]] - linen overgarment, worn with a cincture (belt or rope) over the cassock and for clergy, beneath liturgical vestments. The baroque Roman form has lace cuffs and from hips down. In the medieval or English forms, worn with square apparels on the front and back lower hem, and on the cuffs. In Northwestern Europe the alb developed into the surplice.
*[[Amice]] - square of linen with ties, originally worn on the head as a hood, now worn thrown back over the alb purportedly to protect vestments from sweat and oil. In medieval or English use it often has a rectangular apparel forming a collar when thrown back.
*[[Apparels]] - pieces of brocade worn on the amice and alb in English or Medieval style as decorations.
